Imagine a 40 year old person, who is constantly visiting a
doctor for his pain problems. The costs incurred are higher than should have
been, along with the medication and the doctor consultation charges. Now
imagine a pain medication that one can use on a regular basis to get rid of the
pain or discomfort that the person is experiencing. As the case with each type
of pain is of different intensity, so are the pain meds. These pain medications
are often a result of the necessity to get instant pain relief from the
discomfort.
Mostly acute pain is the most common form of muscular pain
that can arise very quickly owing to the lifestyle and the workload of the people
in this era. Acute pain is caused by injury, surgery, illness, trauma or
painful medical procedures. It serves as a warning of disease or a threat to
the body. It generally lasts for a short period of time, and usually disappears
when the underlying cause has been treated or has healed. Unrelieved acute
pain, however, may lead to chronic pain problems that may result in long
hospital stays, re-hospitalizations, visits to outpatient clinics and emergency
departments, and increased costs.
For the treatment of the acute range of pain doctors often
prescribe Soma pain
medication. Soma is the brand version of Carisoprodol. It is an FDA
Approved drug which gained approval for sale in many countries including USA,
UK in 2003.
Working
Many people consider Soma to be
a muscle relaxant, however, it should be noted that the medication is not truly
a muscle relaxant but rather closer to a sedative. True muscle relaxants target
the specific region and the pain inflicted muscle fibers. The medication though
acts by changing how we feel pain. It blocks the transmission of the pain
signals to the brain, thereby creating a perception that the pain has reduced
whilst under the effect of this drug.
Conclusion
The medication is known for the treatment of acute pain. However
in the recent times the medication has been used a lot for recreational
purposes, which ultimately becomes an addiction.
Proper supervision and guidance is necessary for the person, as a reckless
dosage of the pain medication can hamper a person’s health. This eventually
results in a deterioration of health. In some cases, the medication is known to
produce a form of Soma overdose called Soma Coma, wherein the person is in a
temporary state of coma. Using pain medications wisely as such are important
for pain relief within minutes.
